Whoa, does that mean that

	$ git checkout my-private-branch
	$ git sequencer --onto=master

will change _master_?

Exactly.

/me does not like that.  I could see a new porcelain doing that, but not 
the thing that will be called by rebase.

Yeah, an option to change which branch is current should be called 
something different. --onto is an initial reset --hard, not an initial 
checkout; it specifies the branch (or commit) that the sequence of changes 
are done on top of, not the branch that will contain them. "Onto" (as an 
english preposition) specifies a destination, not a location, so it 
doesn't make sense as the location that stuff is done.
